When it comes to being the most professional, hospitable, and sincere physicians, Dr. Richard Fleming and his staff take the cake. I have never been treated so well and kindly before in my life. Dr. Fleming’s nurses were so kind and highly skilled at their jobs and clearly enjoyed what they do for a living. The anesthesiologist working for Dr. Fleming was also very friendly and called to check on me both before and after the surgery which made me feel that I was in good care by the best physicians. I never had to wait in line to be serviced (in fact, there was never anybody else in the waiting room every time I was there). There was very little waiting time to be seen by the nurse and doctor and checked on (7 minutes tops) which was so wonderful. I honestly didn’t know this kind of service existed!!!! When I was being seen by the nurse and doctor they were very thorough in explaining the surgery procedures to me and never rushed to get me out the door. The nurse Maria was very careful and gentle when she removed the stitches from my nose which was most appreciated as this can be very painful. Dr. Fleming could not have been more friendly, honest, skilled, thorough, and accurate when it came to my nose surgery. Everything Dr. Fleming said he could do he did PERFECTLY. He explained every detail and step he would make to correct my nose, what to expect for the next couple of months, and then performed the rhinoplasty revision surgery flawlessly. My nose was so horribly fractured that I thought it would be impossible to correct and that all hope was lost for my “looks” department. Dr. Fleming shattered those thoughts by giving me a beautiful, handsome nose and is truly a miracle-worker. Dr. Fleming truly cares for all his patients and he even called me right after the surgery and again after I flew back home about2 ½ weeks after the surgery. When I called to ask some questions about my nose a couple of weeks after the surgery, Dr. Fleming responded the same day. You can’t get better sincere service or a better sincere, and skilled staff than at the Beverly Hills Institute of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. Thank you for everything, Dr. Fleming!!!! Sincerely, Jason Lee.

Dr. Fleming is amazing. Many years ago I had my nose done and the results were horrible, it took me a long time to trust another surgeon. Now i not only feel great but I look great. Thank you doctor Fleming you have changed my life.

This man is not only an excellent doctor, but an artist. Kindly, good natured, and experienced, Dr. Fleming revised my disaster of a nose with deft precision, and turned my deformed, unattractive feature into a very beautiful, natural looking nose. He was honest, communicated his thoughts candidly to me, and he listened to my concerns with an open mind. Though very professional, his demeanor makes a patient comfortable and he's easy to communicate with. His revision must have been complex, but still the result is a beautiful nose, better than I could possibly have expected. Im so pleased with it, and am delighted to say that my experience there was excellent in all regards. His office is knowledgeable so that everything went smoothly before and after the surgery too, and they couldnt have been nicer.
Dr. Fleming combined new techniques with his meticulous old school experience, which is comforting for a patient like me, facing surgery. His follow up care was conscientious and he has a genuine concern for his patients, our well being, and our results. I was in very good hands here; I'm thankful to him and his office and grateful for his work.

Dr. Fleming was an excellent Dr. He explained that I didn't need another rhinoplasty. All I needed was a rim graft. I was very excited to hear this as I was concerned and scared that a revision rhinoplasty would have made it worst. I didn't want to change my whole nose I just wanted my nostrils to be symmetrical. His staff are also great people. They actually care and will make you feel very comfortable. I wish I had gone with Dr. Fleming for my first surgery as I am very confident I wouldn't have had to gone again.

I give Dr. Fleming five out of five stars because not only is he an extremely talented surgeon, he is an incredible person who spends time with you, answers all of your questions and treats you with so much kindness. I can't wait to see him for my follow up appointments!
I would like to take a moment to encourage anyone considering plastic surgery to contact Dr.Richard Fleming. He is truly an amazing surgeon/artist who has changed my life! I had a nose job years back and it was botched so of course I had my hesitations about revising the rhinoplasty and who to go to. For years I looked for the right surgeon and I found him on realself.com.
Dr. Fleming is a facial plastic surgeon which is REALLY important. This is what he specializes in! From the moment I stepped into his office I felt extremely good about making a complimentary consultation with the Dr. He spent a great amount of time with me answering my questions and of course giving me tons of information. I made the right decision having Dr. Fleming do my surgery.He is simply the best. I know because I took the time to meet with MANY doctors. I am so glad I waited until I found him. I look beautiful! Have I mentioned his staff? Incredible people! I am just so impressed with my whole experience. I will not let anyone else touch my face! I don't want my picture up on a website but if you saw me you wouldn't even know I had work done!

Many women have a large forehead secondary to a congenitally high hairline; some women found themselves with a too- high hairline after cosmetic surgery.
